Chapter 4: Calmacht DunBroch

"I WON'T CHOOSE ONE OF 'EM TO BE MY BRIDE!" Calmacht yelled. Elinor glared at her son.

"Calmacht! I am the Queen! You-" She began but was cut off.

"I DON'T CARE! I WILL NOT MARRY ONE OF THEM!"

He ran off, muttering under his breath. He got on Angus and rode off into the forest.

"You're mad, aren't you?" An unknown male voice said.

"WHO'S THERE?!" He demanded.

"I can help you. On one condition."

'There's always a catch...' Calmacht sighed, "What?"

"You pledge your allegiance to me..."

Calmacht gasped when none other than M'ordu appeared before him. He was about to draw his arrow when he reconsidered. As much as he didn't want to...

having the Demon Bear as his partner seemed better than marrying some girl he didn't like. Plus, think about how powerful he'd be if he did! Calmacht smirked and held out a hand.

"Ye have yourself a deal."

M'ordu smirked and gave him a bottle of clear liquid. Calmacht didn't need to ask what it was. He knew poison when he saw it.

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

"Enter."

Calmacht smiled as he entered his mother's room with a cake, "I hade it made for you. Special."

Elinor looked shocked, "For me?"

Calmacht nodded, "I said it was special..." He smirked as she took a bite, 'Very special. Hope you love death... because it is a very, interesting flavor.'

Elinor choked on her first bite, "This is an... interesting flavor... ugh... w-what is it?"

"Death." Calmacht turned around, smirking as he heard a thud and a crash.

Queen Elinor had had her rule, now it was his turn. He just had to get rid of the King and the Princes. He grabbed his hood and walked outside, where everyone was waiting.

"ATTENTION! I HAVE DIRE NEWS!" He yelled, smirking on the inside, "QUEEN ELINOR HAS PASSED AWAY!"

"HOW?!" Fergus asked.

Calmacht smirked cruelly, "I killed her."

"WHAT?! H-HOW?!"

"The same way I will to you all if you don't follow my or his orders..." Calmacht walked over to a man they had never seen before. Slowly, the man turned into a bear.

"M'ORDU!"

Calmacht trusted his sword into one of the soldiers as he ran over to the bear in an attempt to kill him.

"He is my partner. I am Calmacht. King of Dun Broch. Prince of Rage. Apprentice to the Demon Bear M'ordu. Should you wish to live, then you must never speak out of order in front of either of us, or else, I will have to come up with different methods of killing you all."

Calmacht sat on his father's throne, a golden crown in his head. Things were about to change. He had their lives in his hands. And he damn well knew he had the advantage. No one would be able to defeat him. Why? Because this was fate...

Kura: Review. Punzie is next.
